Jan 14, 2006

NEW YORK, NY -- The Brandeis University women's basketball team
suffered its first loss of the season today, falling at NYU, 70-68.
The loss sends the Judges, ranked No. 2 in the nation by
d3hoops.com, to 10-1 overall for the season, 2-1 in the UAA, while
NYU improves to 12-1, 2-1 in conference.

With the game tied at 68-68, and 8.6 seconds left on the clock, NYU
junior Adrienne Rochetti took a missed Brandeis free throw the
length of the court for the game-winning bucket. Despite outscoring
the Violets, 25-15, from the free throw line, a season-high 27
turnovers hurt the Judges.

Sophomore guard Jaime Capra (Old Bridge, N.J.) led the Judges in
scoring with 20 points, with senior Christine Clancy (Yarmouth,
Maine) and junior Caitlin Malcolm (Windsor Locks, Conn.) both
adding 17. Malcolm led all players with 11 rebounds, recording her
third double-double of the season.

NYU was paced by 20 points from Kaite Higier, 12 from Rochetti and
10 each from Stephanie Ryba and Chiene Jones.
